When Sue and Joe Cox took over their car wash operation in Yorkville, Illinois, just under two years ago, they knew they wanted to offer their customers something exceptional. After making significant improvements to their self-serve bays, they turned their attention to upgrading their automatic wash system—a decision that would transform their business.
The Coxes didn’t rush into their decision. They conducted extensive research, evaluating multiple manufacturers and systems to find the right fit for their operation. Their criteria were clear: they wanted a system that could deliver superior cleaning performance while efficiently handling high customer volume.
That’s when they discovered Petit Auto Wash Equipment’s Accutrac® 360-i system through Renew Car Care. After consulting with our team and reviewing the system’s capabilities, they knew they’d found their solution.
The system we installed at Cox Car Wash features several game-changing technologies that set it apart:
Touchless Wash Technology: The gentle yet effective cleaning process uses high-pressure spray arms instead of brushes, eliminating the risk of scratches while delivering exceptional results.
Lightning-Fast Performance: With 2-3-minute wash cycles, the system can handle up to 29 cars per hour, making it ideal for managing peak demand periods.
Durable Construction: Built with stainless steel components and sealed hypoid gearboxes, the system is engineered for long-lasting performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
At Renew Car Care, we worked closely with Sue and Joe every step of the way. From the initial consultation through installation and training, we made sure they felt fully prepared to operate their new system. The installation process was smooth and quick, minimizing downtime so they could get back to serving their customers.
The big moment came on October 11th, when Cox Car Wash officially launched its new touchless system. The response was incredible. Cars lined up down the street as customers eagerly waited to try it out. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many praising the wash’s quality and speed.
Sue shared after the event: “A HUGE thank you to everyone who came out today to support our grand opening. We are so grateful for everyone’s continued support!”
Cox Car Wash’s real strength goes beyond the new equipment. It’s the seamless mix of Sue and Joe’s warm, personal touch with the dependable power of the Petit Auto Wash system. Together, they deliver the kind of experience customers appreciate, and return for again and again.
The success at Cox Car Wash is just the beginning. We’re currently installing two more Petit Accutrac® 360-i Systems at Clean Machine in Mishawaka, bringing the same level of innovation and performance to another forward-thinking business.
These installations highlight a growing trend among car wash owners. Investing in premium touchless technology isn’t just about staying competitive; it’s about setting new standards for customer satisfaction, efficiency, and long-term success.
